The Trump administration is escalating its attack on immigrant communities in Ohio, reinvigorating Operation Buckeye and preparing an all-out assault on Springfield’s Haitian communities. Ohioans are standing up to racist terror by disrupting business as usual and demanding no work, school, or shopping on January 30.
At 2:00pm January 29, faith leaders, community organizations, and students will hold a press conference at the Columbus Liberation Center, located at 1004 Parsons Ave, publicly announcing their endorsement of the January 30 shutdown and highlighting the urgency of responding to ICE’s escalations in Minneapolis.
Then, the Columbus Liberation Center will host a volunteer meeting and art build at 6:00pm, where working-class Ohioans will convene to discuss the need for a shutdown, preparing signs, banners, and outreach materials for January 30.
Every day, ICE, Border Patrol and other enforcers of Trump’s racist agenda are going into our communities to kidnap our neighbors and sow fear. It is time for us to all stand up together in a nationwide shutdown and say enough is enough!
